fix(windows): regsvr32 is never stopped so the container never exits

[HopeSuffers]

Problem

entrypoint.ps1 calls regsvr32 without /s:

regsvr32 C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Setup\x64\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Setup.Configuration.Native.dll

Without /s, regsvr32 reports success with a modal dialog box. Nothing dismisses it in a container, so the process never exits. A Windows container stays alive while any process is running, so docker run never returns and the job hangs. Long after the build itself has finished.

It hangs a successful build just as readily as a failed one, because regsvr32 runs at the top of the entrypoint, before anything else.

Evidence

docker top on a hung container, taken while the job was still running:

Name                    PID
smss.exe                596
csrss.exe               1052
wininit.exe             1112
services.exe            1156
lsass.exe               1176
...
regsvr32.exe            2296
TrustedInstaller.exe    2196
TiWorker.exe            2804

No powershell.exe, no Unity.exe, no Unity.Licensing.Client.exe. The ention and Unity has exited. regsvr32.exe is the only non-OS process left.

The job log ends exactly where you'd expect:

Successfully returned the entitlement license
Exiting without the bug reporter. Application will terminate with return code 0
<nothing for 71 minutes, then cancelled>

docker rm -f <container> releases the job immediately.

Fix

unity-builder@v4's entrypoint killed it on the very next line:

regsvr32 C:\ProgramData\...\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Setup.Configuration.Na

# Kill the regsvr process
Get-Process -Name regsvr32 | ForEach-Object { Stop-Process -Id $_.Id -Force }

That line was dropped in the port to this CLI. This restores it, with -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue so it is a no-op if the process has already gone.

regsvr32 /s would also work and is arguably cleaner, since it avoids terminating the process mid-registration. I've kept parity with v4 because that is the form I could verify end
to end; happy to switch if you prefer /s.

Regression guard

validate-platform-scripts.sh gains a check that fails if regsvr32 is callstopped. Either form passes. This is the second line lost in the v4 port thatthis script has had to catch, so a wider diff of entrypoint.ps1 against v4's may be worth doing.

Testing

• validate-platform-scripts.sh fails on the unfixed entrypoint, passes with the fix.
• bun run build:assets re-run; --check reports assets up to date.
• bun test ./src: 128 pass / 2 skip / 32 fail — identical to an unmodified checkout.
• End to end on a self-hosted Windows runner, Unity 2022.3.21f1 IL2CPP. Beforhung after the build finished, one for 71 minutes past Build Succeeded!.After: the job completes on its own.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved platform script validation to detect potentially non-silent regsvr32 executions.
  • Validation now reports failures when these executions do not include the expected cleanup sequence, helping prevent problematic scripts from passing release checks.
  • Builds now fail when these validation issues are detected, providing clearer feedback before platform scripts are distributed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The platform script validator scans .ps1 files for non-silent regsvr32 calls. It accepts silent calls or calls followed by the required cleanup sequence. Other calls set the validation result to failure.

Changes

Platform script validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
regsvr32 invocation validation scripts/validate-platform-scripts.sh	The script checks regsvr32 calls in PowerShell files under dist/platforms. Calls with /s or /S, or calls followed within 20 lines by Get-Process -Name regsvr32 and Stop-Process, pass validation. Other calls report a failure and set fail=1.
